Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixing rack for computer equipment, and in particular to a fixing rack for electronic devices of different lengths. [Background Technology]

[0002] Existing computer equipment usually reserves some expansion space for users to install expansion devices as needed, and sets some shared specifications according to the type of expansion device to facilitate users to select the expansion device they need. For example, electronic devices such as hard drives and optical drives can all be used with 5.25-inch expansion slots. Currently, a fixing bracket for computer equipment has multiple 5.25-inch expansion slots and can fix multiple 5.25-inch electronic devices in a stacked manner. Since 5.25-inch electronic devices come in different lengths, for example, the length of a 5.25-inch optical drive (ODD) is shorter than that of a 5.25-inch linear tape open (LTO) tape drive. Specifically, the fixing bracket has a frame and a fixing rod. The frame defines the expansion slots and has an open rear side to allow electronic devices of different lengths to extend out. The inner sides of the two side walls of the frame are provided with protruding bumps that protrude towards each other and are used to correspond to one of the fixing holes on the side of the electronic device. When the user places the electronic device into the expansion slot, the protrusion enters the fixing hole to sense that the electronic device has reached the correct position. The bottom end of the securing rod is pivotally connected to the bottom side of one of the side walls of the frame, and the top end of the securing rod is detachably fastened to the top side of the side wall. The rod has multiple positioning posts that correspond to the other side securing holes of the electronic device in each expansion slot. Before inserting the electronic device into the expansion slot, the user must open the securing rod. Once the electronic device is positioned, the user closes the securing rod and secures the electronic device by inserting the positioning posts into the securing holes of the electronic device.

[0003] However, when users install electronic devices, the outward expansion and deformation of the two side walls of the frame can cause the protrusions to mismatch with the fixing holes, rendering them ineffective. Alternatively, the user's sense of whether the protrusions are properly seated in the fixing holes can be affected by factors such as: interference between the screws on some electronic devices, nuts embedded in the fixing holes of the electronic device, and the interaction between the grooves at the rear end of the electronic device and the protrusions. These factors result in the conventional fixing frame's locking function, which relies on the protrusions fitting into the fixing holes, being unable to determine whether the electronic device is properly installed and requiring repeated confirmation. Furthermore, improper assembly can easily lead to the fixing rod deforming due to interference. [Summary of the invention]

[0004] Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a fixing bracket for computer equipment that can easily confirm that the electronic device is assembled in place.

[0005] Therefore, in some embodiments, the present invention provides a mounting bracket for computer equipment suitable for mounting a first electronic device and a second electronic device longer than the first electronic device. The mounting bracket comprises a frame and a plurality of retaining modules. The frame comprises a bottom wall, a top wall opposite the bottom wall, and two side walls connected to and opposite the bottom wall and the top wall, respectively. The bottom wall, the top wall, and the side walls collectively define a storage space. A plurality of supporting portions are provided on opposing inner sides of the side walls to divide the storage space into a plurality of slots. Each slot is configured to accommodate the first electronic device or the second electronic device along a front-to-back direction. One side wall forms a plurality of track units corresponding to the slots. Each track unit comprises a mounting groove defined by an inner recess of the side wall and extending along the front-to-back direction; a long through-groove formed in the inner recess and extending along the front-to-back direction; and a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion formed in the inner recess and spaced apart from each other and adjacent to the long through-groove along the front-to-back direction. The blocking modules are respectively arranged corresponding to the track units, and each blocking module includes a sliding member and a first elastic positioning member. The sliding member has a main board portion that can be slidably arranged in the corresponding installation slot along the front-to-back direction, and a baffle portion that is bent and extended from the main board portion and is located at the rear side of the accommodating space. The first elastic positioning member is arranged on the main board portion and passes through the corresponding long through slot and is linked by the main board portion to slide along the long through slot in the front-to-back direction. The first elastic positioning member has a fixed portion fixed to the main board portion and a movable portion connected to the fixed portion and elastically displaced in a direction away from the fixed portion. The movable portion is in a locked position in normal state and cooperates with the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion to be clamped in the first positioning portion or the second positioning portion. The first positioning portion and the second positioning portion each have four protrusions distributed on the upper and lower sides of the long through slot. The protrusions are used to jointly limit the movable portion. Each protrusion has an arc surface formed along the front-to-back direction to allow the movable portion to slide relative to each other. When the movable portion is clamped on the first positioning portion, the baffle portion is used to block the first electronic device. When the movable portion is clamped on the second positioning portion, the baffle portion is used to block the second electronic device. When the movable portion slides through the first positioning portion or the second positioning portion, it is elastically moved to an unlocked position by the action of the arc surfaces of the first positioning portion or the second positioning portion. The long through groove also has a main channel for the sliding of the first elastic positioning member. The outer diameter of the movable portion of the first elastic positioning member is larger than the width of the main channel, so that the inner recess can be sandwiched between the main board portion and the movable portion.

[0006] In some embodiments, the mounting groove has a closed end near the front side of the accommodating space and an open end near the rear side of the accommodating space, the open end is for the sliding part to extend out of the mounting groove, the long through groove has a front end portion near the closed end and a rear end portion near the open end, the first positioning portion is located between the front end portion and the second positioning portion, and the second positioning portion is located between the first positioning portion and the rear end portion.

[0007] In some embodiments, each stopping module also includes a second elastic positioning member, the structure of the second elastic positioning member is the same as that of the first elastic positioning member and is arranged on the main board portion and adjacent to one end of the main board portion away from the baffle portion. When the movable part of the first elastic positioning member is clamped in the first positioning portion, the second elastic positioning member is located at the front end portion of the long through groove. When the movable part of the first elastic positioning member is clamped in the second positioning portion, the movable part of the second elastic positioning member rests against the front side of the first positioning portion.

[0008] In some embodiments, the long through groove also has two expanded hole portions for the movable portion of the first elastic positioning member and the movable portion of the second elastic positioning member to pass through respectively, one of the expanded hole portions overlaps with the position of the rear end portion, and the position of the other expanded hole portion is between the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion, and the outer diameters of the movable portion of the first elastic positioning member and the movable portion of the second elastic positioning member are greater than the width of the main channel.

[0009] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, a fixing bracket for computer equipment is suitable for accommodating a first electronic device and a second electronic device longer than the first electronic device. The fixing bracket includes a frame and a stop module. The frame includes a bottom wall, a top wall opposite the bottom wall, and two side walls connected to the bottom wall and the top wall on both sides and opposite to each other. The bottom wall, the top wall, and the side walls together define a storage space. The storage space has a slot for accommodating the first electronic device or the second electronic device along a front-to-back direction. One side wall forms a track unit corresponding to the slot. The track unit has a mounting groove defined by an inner recess of the side wall and extending along the front-to-back direction, a long through groove formed in the inner recess and extending along the front-to-back direction, and a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion formed in the inner recess and spaced apart from each other and adjacent to the long through groove along the front-to-back direction. The stop module is arranged corresponding to the track unit and includes a sliding member and a first elastic positioning member. The sliding member has a main board portion that can be slidably arranged in the corresponding mounting groove along the front-to-back direction, and a baffle portion that is bent and extended from the main board portion and is located at the rear side of the accommodating space. The first elastic positioning member is arranged on the main board portion and passes through the corresponding long through-slot and is driven by the main board portion to slide along the long through-slot in the front-to-back direction. The first elastic positioning member has a fixed portion fixed to the main board portion and a movable portion that is connected to the fixed portion and can be elastically displaced in the direction away from the fixed portion. The movable portion is located in a locking position in normal state and cooperates with the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion to be clamped in the first positioning portion or the second positioning portion. The first positioning portion and the second positioning portion each have four protrusions distributed on the upper and lower sides of the long through-slot, and these protrusions are used to jointly limit the movable portion. Each protrusion has an arc surface formed along the front-to-back direction for the movable portion to slide relative to each other. When the movable portion is clamped on the first positioning portion, the baffle portion is used to block the first electronic device. When the movable portion is clamped on the second positioning portion, the baffle portion is used to block the second electronic device. When the movable portion slides through the first positioning portion or the second positioning portion, the arcuate surfaces acted upon by the first positioning portion or the second positioning portion elastically move to an unlocked position. The long through groove also has a main channel for the sliding of the first elastic positioning member. The outer diameter of the movable portion of the first elastic positioning member is greater than the width of the main channel, so that the inner recess can be sandwiched between the main board portion and the movable portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, the mounting groove has a closed end near the front side of the accommodating space and an open end near the rear side of the accommodating space, the open end is for the sliding part to extend out of the mounting groove, the long through groove has a front end portion near the closed end and a rear end portion near the open end, the first positioning portion is located between the front end portion and the second positioning portion, and the second positioning portion is located between the first positioning portion and the rear end portion.

[0011] In some embodiments, the stopping module also includes a second elastic positioning member, the structure of the second elastic positioning member is the same as that of the first elastic positioning member and is arranged on the main board portion and adjacent to one end of the main board portion away from the baffle portion. When the movable part of the first elastic positioning member is clamped in the first positioning portion, the second elastic positioning member is located at the front end portion of the long through groove. When the movable part of the first elastic positioning member is clamped in the second positioning portion, the movable part of the second elastic positioning member rests against the front side of the first positioning portion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the long through groove also has two expanded hole portions for the movable portion of the first elastic positioning member and the movable portion of the second elastic positioning member to pass through respectively, one of the expanded hole portions is at the same position as the rear end portion, and the position of the other expanded hole portion is between the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion, and the outer diameters of the movable portion of the first elastic positioning member and the movable portion of the second elastic positioning member are greater than the width of the main channel.

[0013] In some embodiments, the sliding member further has a reinforcing rib to enhance the structural strength of the connection between the baffle portion and the main plate portion.

[0014] In some embodiments, the side wall having the recessed portion is further provided with a positioning through-hole, and the fixing frame further includes a fixing rod, the bottom end of the fixing rod being pivotally connected to the bottom wall of the frame, and the top end of the fixing rod being detachably buckled to the top wall of the frame, and having a positioning column corresponding to the positioning through-hole, and these positioning columns are used to pass through the positioning through-hole and be inserted into the fixing hole of the first electronic device or the second electronic device to fix the first electronic device or the second electronic device to the frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the fixing bracket for computer equipment of the present invention, by cooperating with the track unit and the blocking module, can provide users with a clear positioning feel when installing electronic devices, and can easily position when installing electronic devices of different lengths, and can prevent the structural characteristics of different electronic devices from affecting the installation feel.

[0026] Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals in the following description.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of the present invention, a mounting bracket for computer equipment, is suitable for mounting a first electronic device A1 and a second electronic device A2 that is longer than the first electronic device A1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first electronic device A1 is a 5.25-inch optical disk drive (ODD), and the second electronic device A2 is a 5.25-inch linear tape open (LTO) tape drive. The example uses one first electronic device A1 and two second electronic devices A2 as an example. The mounting bracket 100 includes a frame 1, a plurality of retaining modules 2, and a fixing rod 3.

[0028] See Figures 4 to 6 The frame 1 includes a bottom wall 11, a top wall 12 opposite to the bottom wall 11, and two side walls 13 respectively connected to the bottom wall 11 and the top wall 12 on both sides and opposite to each other. The bottom wall 11, the top wall 12 and the side walls 13 jointly define a receiving space 14. A plurality of supporting portions 15 are provided on the opposite inner sides of the side walls 13 to divide the receiving space 14 into a plurality of slots 141 along a vertical direction D1. Each slot 141 is used for inserting the first electronic device A1 or the second electronic device A2 along a front-to-back direction D2. One side wall 13 forms a plurality of track units 16 corresponding to the slots 141 respectively.

[0029] Each rail unit 16 has a mounting groove 161 defined by an inner recess 131 of the side wall 13 and extending along the front-to-back direction D2, a long through-groove 162 formed in the inner recess 131 and extending along the front-to-back direction D2, and a first positioning portion 163 and a second positioning portion 164 formed in the inner recess 131 and spaced apart from each other along the front-to-back direction D2 and adjacent to the long through-groove 162. The inner recess 131 is formed by being recessed from the inner side surface of the side wall 13 and protruding toward the outer side surface. The mounting groove 161 has a closed end 161a near the front side of the accommodating space 14 and an open end 161b near the rear side of the accommodating space 14. The long through-groove 162 has a main channel 162a, a front end 162b near the closed end 161a, a rear end 162c near the open end 161b, and two reaming portions 162d. The reamer portions 162d extend from the upper and lower sides of the main channel 162a. One of the reamer portions 162d overlaps with the rear end portion 162c, and the other reamer portion 162d is located between the first positioning portion 163 and the second positioning portion 164. The first positioning portion 163 is located between the front end portion 162b and the second positioning portion 164, and the second positioning portion 164 is located between the first positioning portion 163 and the rear end portion 162c. In this embodiment, the first positioning portion 163 and the second positioning portion 164 each have four protrusions 165 distributed on the upper and lower sides of the elongated through-slot 162. Each protrusion 165 has a curved surface 165a formed along the front-to-back direction D2.

[0030] See Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the blocking modules 2 are respectively arranged corresponding to the rail units 16. Each blocking module 2 includes a sliding member 21, a first elastic positioning member 22, and a second elastic positioning member 23. The sliding member 21 has a main plate portion 211 slidably disposed in the corresponding mounting slot 161 along the front-to-back direction D2, a baffle portion 212 extending and bending from the main plate portion 211 and located at the rear side of the accommodating space 14, and a reinforcing rib 213 for strengthening the structural strength of the connection between the baffle portion 212 and the main plate portion 211. In this embodiment, the main plate portion 211 is elongated, and the baffle portion 212 extends and bends vertically from the rear end of the main plate portion 211.

[0031] The first elastic positioning member 22 and the second elastic positioning member 23 are provided on the main plate portion 211 and pass through the corresponding long slots 162 and are linked by the main plate portion 211 to slide along the long slots 162 in the front-to-back direction D2. The first elastic positioning member 22 has a fixed portion 221 fixed to the main plate portion 211 and a movable portion 222 connected to the fixed portion 221 and elastically movable in a direction away from the fixed portion 221. The movable portion 222 is in a locked position (e.g., Figure 7 As shown), when the movable portion 222 slides through the first positioning portion 163 or the second positioning portion 164, it is elastically moved to an unlocked position (as shown) by the arc surface 165a of the first positioning portion 163 or the second positioning portion 164. Figure 8 As shown). That is, when the movable portion 222 moves with the slider 21 through the protrusions 165, it can slide relative to the arcuate surfaces 165a and be pushed by the arcuate surfaces 165a to elastically move to the unlocked position to pass through the protrusions 165. After passing through the protrusions 165, the movable portion 222 is acted upon by an internal spring (not shown) and can return to the locked position. When the movable portion 222 is located between the four protrusions 165 of the first positioning portion 163 or the second positioning portion 164, it returns to the locked position. When the slider 21 is not subjected to force to slide along the front-to-back direction D2, the movable portion 222 is stopped and limited in the front-to-back direction D2 by the protrusions 165. The structure of the second elastic positioning member 23 is the same as that of the first elastic positioning member 22, and it also has a fixed portion 231 and a movable portion 232. It is located at one end (front end) of the adjacent main plate portion 211 away from the baffle portion 212. In this embodiment, the first elastic positioning member 22 and the second elastic positioning member 23 are commercially available spring locks.

[0032] The outer diameters of the movable portions 222 and 232 of the first and second elastic positioning members 22 and 23 are greater than the width of the main channel 162a, allowing the inner recess 131 to be sandwiched between the main plate portion 211 and the movable portions 222 and 232. The reamer portions 162d allow the movable portions 222 and 232 of the first and second elastic positioning members 22 and 232 to pass through, respectively, to mount the stop module 2 on the track unit 16. This eliminates the need for tools during assembly. Furthermore, the reamer portions 162d are offset from the first and second positioning members 163 and 164. Once assembled, during movement of the slider 21 during use, the movable portions 222 and 232 of the first and second elastic positioning members 22 and 232 will not return to their corresponding positions on the reamer portions 162d, thereby preventing the stop module 2 from separating from the track unit 16.

[0033] When the stop module 2 is to be installed on the track unit 16, Figure 9As shown in the uppermost stopper module 2 and the track unit 16, the movable portion 222 of the first elastic positioning member 22 and the movable portion 222 of the second elastic positioning member 23 are first aligned with the expanded holes 162d, and then the movable portions 222 are respectively passed through the expanded holes 162d and the main plate portion 211 is pressed against the inner recess 131, and then as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown in the middle of the stopper module 2 and the track unit 16, the sliding member 21 is pushed forward until the second elastic positioning member 23 is located at the front end 162b of the long through slot 162, and the movable portion 222 of the first elastic positioning member 22 is locked in the first positioning portion 163, and the assembly is completed. When the movable portion 222 is locked in the first positioning portion 163, the baffle portion 212 is used to block the first electronic device A1 (see Figure 3 ).like Figure 9 As shown in the bottommost stop module 2 and the track unit 16, when the movable portion 222 of the first elastic positioning member 22 is clamped on the second positioning portion 164, the movable portion 222 of the second elastic positioning member 23 is against the front side of the first positioning portion 163. At this time, the baffle portion 212 is used to block the second electronic device A2 (see Figure 3 ).

[0034] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, when the electronic device is not installed, Figure 1 As shown, the movable portions 222 of the first elastic positioning members 22 of the blocking modules 2 are all locked in the corresponding first positioning portions 163 for easy use.

[0035] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3If the user wishes to install the first electronic device A1, the user only needs to insert the first electronic device A1 into one of the slots 141 until the rear end of the first electronic device A1 abuts against the baffle 212, at which point the first electronic device A1 is positioned. If the user wishes to install the second electronic device A2, the user can insert the second electronic device A2 into one of the slots 141 and continue to push the first electronic device A2 backwards when the rear end of the first electronic device A1 abuts against the baffle 212. The user can feel the movable portion 222 of the first elastic positioning member 22 first pass over the protrusion 165 on the rear side of the first positioning member 163, until the movable portion 222 of the first elastic positioning member 22 then passes over the protrusion 165 on the front side of the second positioning member 164 and is resisted by the protrusion 165 on the rear side of the second positioning member 164, at which point the second electronic device A2 is positioned. As the sliding member 21 slides along the front-to-back direction D2, the movable portion 222 of the first elastic positioning member 22 interacts with the first positioning portion 163 and the second positioning portion 164 to create a secure fit. This not only prevents the sidewalls 13 from expanding and deforming, but also facilitates secure positioning for electronic devices of varying lengths. Furthermore, the baffle portion 212 abuts against the rear side of the electronic device, preventing the structural characteristics of the individual electronic devices from affecting the ease of installation.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the side wall 13 having the inner recesses 131 is further provided with three positioning holes 132. The bottom end of the fixing rod 3 is pivotally connected to the bottom wall 11 of the frame 1, and the top end of the fixing rod 3 is detachably buckled to the top wall 12 of the frame 1, and has three positioning posts 31 corresponding to the positioning holes 132. Before the user wants to insert the first electronic device A1 and the second electronic devices A2 into the slots 141, the user needs to open the fixing rod 3, wait for the first electronic device A1 and the second electronic devices A2 to reach the desired position, then buckle the fixing rod 3, and fix the first electronic device A1 and the second electronic devices A2 to the frame 1 by inserting the positioning posts 31 through the positioning holes 132 and into the fixing holes (not shown) of the first electronic device A1 and the second electronic devices A2.

[0037] It is understandable that in a modified embodiment, the frame 1 may also have only one slot 141 and one track unit 16 , and only one blocking module 2 .

[0038] In summary, the cooperation between the track unit 16 and the stop module 2 allows the user to have a clear positioning feeling when installing the electronic device, and can easily position the electronic devices of different lengths, and can prevent the structural characteristics of different electronic devices from affecting the installation feeling.

[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
